He knew that Joanna liked the Old Lady, so he brought her up.
As expected, hearing the Old Lady asking about her, Joanna finally spoke up, "It's been a while since I last saw Grandma, I miss her. I'll go back with you then. But what about Jeremy..."
Joanna couldn't bear to leave Jeremy alone.
"Sis, you don't have to worry about me. Just go with your husband, I can eat by myself." Jeremy said sensibly.
Even though they had a good relationship, he knew things were different now that his sister was married.
She now had a husband, and her current family should be her priority.
But the more sensible he was, the more reluctant Joanna was to leave him alone.
It had been a while since they last met.
Now that they had just reunited, they had to part ways again.
She could hardly bear it.
